What We Provide:

The successful candidate will attend an intense eight week ground school (in the evening after regular school hours) with texts and materials provided at no cost.  Periodic written exams and a final exam are also given. Mentors are available to assist the student as needed.  Upon successful completion of this class, the student will be able to take the private pilot written exam as required by the Federal Aviation Administration.

We are also able to provide the required flight medical exam to the students at no cost.

The students are asked to contribute $30 per flight irrespective of the length of the flight (compared to the $90-120+ per hour for commercial operators including flight instructor).  The dual flight instruction is provided at no cost to the student.

When the ground school and flight training requirements have been successfully met, the private pilot practical exam is provided to the student at minimal expense.
